My new switch panel

I had 3 switches spaced out throughout the cab of my jeep. I was always reaching and then hoping to have remembered what switch went to what set of lights. Plus it looked like crap. I searched and found that some people had made their own, however I'm not that crafty. I found a place that makes gauge plates and switch panels so I contacted them about doing a cherokee one. They now do one.
Its awesome, it is 100xs better than anything I could have done, it looks really professional. The pictures don't really do it justice. It is back lit, and the guy will make them custom, so whatever labels you want on there, you will get.

here are my pictures

during

the panel itself

the back

and then the finished product




It was easy to install too.

Wow that looks really nice, I have a few switches, although I dont quite need a full panel for it yet, but something to keep in mind as I continue to add aux. accessories.

That's very nice! It looks like the small words are backlit also, are they not?

So where do you put your spare change now?

yeah they are back lit. Who has spare change these days.

They are really flexible and will make it however you like, so if you wanted different labels or without the lights, they will do that too. Its cheaper without the lights. i would contact them and see what they can do.

I'm only using 3 switches now but wired it up so when I get the rest of the lights its good to go.
